A handling device is provided for a battery block (1) of an industrial truck having a lateral battery extraction opening. The handling device includes a pallet truck (3) and a battery receptacle (4) mountable on the pallet truck (3). The battery receptacle (4) on the pallet truck (3) can be inserted underneath a battery block (1) that is located in the industrial truck, whereupon the battery block (1) can be lifted and removed from the industrial truck. The battery receptacle (4) has a load-bearing frame by means of which the weight of the battery block (1) can be supported on the tines of the fork of the pallet truck (3). In one development, the handling device includes a battery tray on which the battery block (1) can be set down by the battery receptacle (4) that is located on the pallet truck (3).
